[Exclusive] Kakao launches 'Project Altverse'... Establishment of freelance metaverse ecosystem

Crust, a subsidiary in charge of operating Kakao's blockchain platform Klaytn.

This company, which is in charge of crypto-based investment and business, started to create a platform for freelancers to conduct economic activities based on Web 3.0 and Metaverse, and started hiring related personnel.

It is to enable freelancers to receive rewards by providing and distributing content or services through tools provided by Kakao. Crust named it 'Project Altverse'.

The developer's job for this job category also includes the implementation of a user experience using a crypto wallet, so it is predicted that the related ecosystem reward system will be based on a blockchain ecosystem such as cryptocurrency.

Prior to this, Crust made a strategic investment in the web 3.0 platform Panto to build a Klaytn-based fandom network. A situation in which creators in various fields can create and distribute fandom-based NFTs within Panto.

A large number of unspecified freelancers not affiliated with Kakao are engaged in economic activities based on non-face-to-face metaverse, pouring out content in each area, and related rewards are expected to be based on blockchain, such as crypto and NFT.

If such an ecosystem is established, Kakao also has the advantage of being able to escape the dependency of OS holders such as Google and Apple. Attention is drawn to the specific direction and path of Project Altverse.
